  • I would get together what you can and then put the claim in. You won’t know anything until you try.

    Sorry Katrina,
    I can prove the value by other items going for the same price on ebay.
    I have a screen shot of three of the same items sold within the last month on ebay, would that be accepted?

    If the items are identical its a very good start. Do you have photos of the condition before sending?
  • Yes I do I have photos of it lighting up and working.
  • Hello,

    I arranged a private sale with an old friend for a small synthesizer worth £250-£300. ...
    Had you and your friend not actually agreed a price?  You didn't know what you'd sold it for?

  • No we had agreed on £250 and the invoice was created to reflect that. He is an old friend so I trust he will pay me.

    Do you have anything with a price still from when you bought it?
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

  • No, it was bought years ago. They are not making them anymore either.
